Hi Luke,
I have always used (several months) my maps with streetViewControl:
false declared in the map options wen setting up the map. On the
evening of Oct. 7, it was working fine. When Streetview was disabled,
Pegman didn't show, and when a marker was clicked enabling streetview,
pegman stayed hidden. I was debugging across several browsers, so was
repeatedly declaring the map, setting some 200 markers, and streetview
was disabled. All well and good.
Morning of Oct. 8, still at first no problem, Streetview was not
enabled against my wishes in a separate window when maps declared.
Only this morning, pegman arrives for the first time, unwanted, on the
map when the street view is invoked by clicking on a marker. Now
pegman won't go away. Calls to setMapOptions({streetViewControl:
false}); have no effect.
Am I stuck now with this clunky beast? I'm sure its extraordinarily
appropriate and useful in some situations, but in the one I'm using,
it just clutters things up to no useful end, as there is no
opportunity for a user to drag it around and put it anyplace useful.
I'm in the middle of simplifying my interface and allowing multiple
personal markers on the map, but I continue to hope and pray that some
day soon, pegman can be banished to some dark corner. As it is, I'm
having to send it to the North Pole when street view is disabled,
otherwise it hangs about on the map for no apparent (to others)
purpose.
I hope this Perpetual Pegman isn't a design decision!
Alan
Oh, yes, you can check out the problem at helpmaps.ca
